A calculating, emotionally steady, straight-laced top × a flirtatious, sweet, confident bottom who never overthinks

Blurb:

Zhuang Cheng is a gay man who came out long ago.

Not long after getting his marriage license, he found out his husband was cheating on him with multiple people, and promptly chose to divorce him.

But the wedding had already been fully planned. He could cut his losses emotionally, but there was no getting the wedding expenses back. The title of “husband” was vacant and waiting.

Lu Tinghan had never been in a relationship before, and was straight.

Six months after their marriage, his wife brought her girlfriend over and came clean. He chose to let them be together and readily agreed to a divorce.

But losing a suitable marriage partner this way, even without any romantic feelings involved, dealt a painful blow to his straight-man pride.

Outside the divorce registry:

“What is it about gay people that's so appealing?” The straight man was baffled.jpg

“Everyone needs a new top now and then!” The pretty little bottom bit his finger.jpg

The two shared their troubles, hit it off, and confidently rushed into marriage.

Other people might get married after knowing each other for at least a week or a month, but these two only needed two hours.

At the wedding, Zhuang Cheng was dazzled by the huge diamond ring.

“I didn't give you this ring for any other reason. I figured we'd need one sooner or later, so I might as well make good use of it.”

“If I can't give it to anyone, it's worthless to me. But maybe it'll be worth something in your hands.”

Zhuang Cheng pretended to believe his nonsense.

In truth, this was the ring Lu Tinghan hadn't managed to give away during his first marriage, so he was putting it to use a second time. When Zhuang Cheng found out, he didn't care. He tossed the ring at the people who had mocked him earlier and said, “So what if it's a second marriage? A twice-married man knows how to treat his partner.”

Unexpectedly, after getting married, the straight man seemed to turn into a different kind of “straight”: he was directly attracted to men.

“Can I have a copy of your study materials?” Lu Tinghan asked with a perfectly upright expression.

“Weren't you straight?” Zhuang Cheng clutched 200 gigabytes of material, several websites, and dozens of accounts, trembling with fear.

“You need to arm yourself with knowledge to handle my mom with ease.”

Zhuang Cheng knew he'd have to pretend they were deeply in love in front of Lu Tinghan's mother, so he generously shared his materials.

“Can we watch them together? I'm afraid I'll start feeling sick and throwing up.” Lu Tinghan looked perfectly innocent.

Zhuang Cheng believed him again, and climbed into his bed with a thin blanket.

“Um... can you describe exactly what it feels like?”

Zhuang Cheng: ...

Are you okay?

This straight man seems like he needs some Chinese medicine.

Lu Tinghan insisted that he was perfectly healthy and didn't need any medicine. If Zhuang Cheng didn't believe him, he could see for himself.

Zhuang Cheng: Try it and you'll die for it. He slowly hooked a foot around Lu Tinghan's waist.

Later, Zhuang Cheng's eyes were unfocused. “I can't take any more. Get me some Chinese medicine, please.”

Reader's Notes:

1. Both are virgins, but neither has had their first kiss.

2. The top's ex-wife wasn't tricking him into marriage. It was all a misunderstanding. There's no romance between him and his ex-wife!

3. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.

After the Fake Young Master Turned into the Real Young Master's Cat

Xu Jingyao had been cherished by his family for twenty years when he suddenly learned he was the fake young master in a real-and-fake-young-master mix-up.

After learning the truth, Xu Jingyao pretended to stay calm and claimed he was going on a trip. In reality, he went to the lake at school to clear his head, then accidentally fell into the water. It was summer vacation, late at night, and nobody noticed. He died without a sound.

When he woke up, his surroundings felt both familiar and strange. Xu Jingyao stared blankly out the window. This was his home, but from a different perspective.

He turned his head and saw a handsome face. At that moment, though, it was terrifying: it belonged to Xu Zhaohe, the real young master he had met a few days earlier.

Xu Jingyao yowled in terror, bared his claws, and swiped at that face.

Xu Jingyao was dumbfounded. How had he turned into a cat, and why were his claws bloody?

Most importantly, his life had just ended. Was his cat life going to end just like that too?

No!

Xu Zhaohe found a white cat, soaked from head to toe, by the lake.

First day at home: The cat smacked him with a paw.

Second day at home: The cat got stuck in a delivery box.

First week at home: The kitten got buried under its own clothes.

Second week at home: It ran away with gold jewelry.

Xu Zhaohe thoughtfully studied the gold jewelry in the little cloth bag, then suddenly understood. The cat liked gold.

So Xu Zhaohe dressed the kitten up in glittering gold.

Until one day, he discovered that someone had logged into his phone with another account...

After Xu Jingyao discovered he could turn back into a human, he excitedly ran away from home. But once he left, he couldn't turn back into a human, and nearly died outside.

When he got home, he clung to Xu Zhaohe's leg and followed him everywhere.

After secretly trying again and again, he finally realized that he could only turn human when he was near Xu Zhaohe.

His whole world had just collapsed!

Still, since he could turn back into a human, he had to at least let everyone know he was safe.

But lately, the real young master had been really mean. The cat was furious. The phone whose password he was the only one to know was being hidden more and more carefully.

What could this cat not be allowed to see?

Then one day, he got the phone again.

Just as Xu Jingyao happily turned back into a human and started typing a message, Xu Zhaohe emerged from the shadows.

Extra Scene 1:

The first time Xu Jingyao saw his parents in his cat form, he felt a jumble of emotions and could only meow.

When he saw Xu Zhaohe laughing and chatting with his parents, he silently shed little pearls.

The real young master immediately rushed the cat to the vet.

Vet: “He's old enough. It's best to have him neutered.”

The real young master nodded. “Let's put it on the schedule.”

The fake young master brandished his claws: Running away from home can't wait.

Extra Scene 2:

Xu Zhaohe went to the lake and remembered the first time he had met that boy. The boy had been proud and radiant, but he was someone Xu Zhaohe could never hope to reach.

At their second official meeting, he couldn't forget the shock in the boy's eyes. He was shamelessly pleased by it.

His thoughts drifted, and in a daze, he spotted a cat by the muddy lakeshore after the rain. It didn't run away when he approached. Looking closer, he saw that it was covered in mud and weeds, soaked through, its little belly twitching.

It was already on the brink of death.
